I’m not sure anneal fractures keep a marble in the mint range. I myself wouldn’t sell a marble with anneal fractures and rate it as mint. I have a Superman that has an anneal fracture but only visible under 30X loupe. It was listed as mint 9.8 The Seller didn’t know it was there when she listed it. I kept the marble. She sent me a nice mint MCS and we called it even. I think that was fair considering I spent $225. As far as I know there is no official ā€œchartā€ that breaks down the defects and categorizes them in away that you can determine the grade. All in all I still think it’s a gray area. If anyone can shed some light on this it would be appreciatedšŸ”„

I have 14 days to return it. But I know I'll miss it. It's a masterpiece. The only pictures I found of them don't even look Iike mine. Mine's got more deep action going on.

Mint (9.9-9.0). A marble that is in its original condition is identified as Mint. The surface has no marks or damage that occurred subsequent to being produced. There may be some minor rubbing on the surface of the marble is as it came from the factory. There may also be minor defects on the marble that occurred in production: popped air holes, melt marks, contact marks, "annealing fractures." A marble that has factory markings will be graded as Mint(-) and the defects will be described.
